The release of the newest, 10th studio album entitled “Winter Thrice” by Norwegian epic black metal pioneers BORKNAGAR on January 22nd, 2016 via Century Media Records worldwide is drawing closer. Therefore the band is now launching a promotional video clip directed by David Solbjørg and Kjetil Kolbjørnsrud of Twitchy Films for the album’s title track, which also features former/original vocalist and Ulver-mastermind Kristoffer Rygg on guest vocals.

BORKNAGAR founder and guitarist Øystein G. Brun commented about the clip as follows: “Finally it’s time to present our brand new video for the song “Winter Thrice”. Being the title track for the 10th album, we wanted this to be something special. We are indeed a special band. The song and the video features all the 4 vocalists throughout our 20 years of adventure, including Kristoffer Rygg a.k.a. Garm, who was our very first vocalist back in the days. The video was produced by the eminent team from Twitchy Films and was captured at various locations in Norway; first and foremost at the amazing Midgard Historiske Senter at Borre, but also in the furious wilderness of the wintry Telemark. We all laid our hearts into this project, we hope that shines through!

Enjoy

Recently, BORKNAGAR also debuted a lyric-video for the album’s opening track “The Rhymes Of The Mountain”,

“Winter Thrice”, which – just like the previous album “Urd” from 2012 – was once again mixed by Jens Bogren / Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, etc.) and packaged in artwork by Marcelo Vasco / P2RDesign (Slayer, Machine Head, Soulfly, etc.), is unique to the BORKNAGAR catalogue also because it features four vocalist parts, including the return of original singer and Ulver-mastermind Kristoffer Rygg, a.k.a. Garm, who guests on two songs. “Winter Thrice” encompasses everything that BORKNAGAR has put to tape over the past two decades, from their most brutal assaults to their most experimental compositions, with a larger progressive vibe than ever before, making it an absolute highlight in the band’s already stellar career so far…

No way am I waiting for North American pre-order. Just ordered the white LP and the digipack CD! SO EXCITED. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!! The dream team of vocalists!!!! So glad Lars is getting more and more vocal parts, he was an under-utilized gem for so long in Borknagar. Seeing Vortex back in the band still seems like a dream even though it’s been years now. Kris sounds AMAZING in this song. Andreas sounds and looks GREAT, his harsh vocals sound better than ever before, and I’m so glad he’s OK after his accident!

First time I’ve heard Borknagar and I’m extremely impressed the vocals are excellent and the film clip is incredible ,it seems to take you to another place in time and makes you forget about the real insane world outside .keep up the good work guys ,you’ve got this old metal head as a fan now
